Mine would be E23 Rock, Nash, my Elimination chamber, entrance stage, backstage player, triple H big book, the new e24 I just got, Batista, and all the others. The only remorse I typically get are wrestlers I don't even know their move sets, or when I want a fresh updated version of a figure I already have or some legends I have but don't know what to do with... Any figures I end up with doubles will end up in the trade board or eBay lol my goal is to have one of everyone made, not every variation of everyone and I'm damn near close! I also look at my sons face when we are playing and having matches together and any expenses go right out the window Love it man that's awesome!

I wouldn't call it regret, but sometimes thoughts creep into your head like "wtf am I thinking?" I know we all do it, but sometimes in my office chair, I sit back and look at my collection.....the 6 foot tall display case and then the shorter one. And the reason I'm glancing at it is to admire it.......enjoy it. I can tell you where/when I got each one of my figures, and there may be a lil story to go with it. I think we all can relate to that. Then I say to myself "Oh my God that's thousands of dollars!" But people spend their money on all kinds of vices, habits, hobbies. Some worse than others.
The only time you should regret it is if you are sitting there, gawking at your collection, and your electricity and cable has been shut off, and your kid is hungry. Then you got major problems. Make collecting part of your life, not your life.

Great thread. I don't regret my collection at all. I've been collecting since childhood, for about 20 years. The way I look at it if my mortgage and bills are paid for the month, I see nothing wrong with spending money on something that in passionate about. Not to mention, I love looking at my badass collection

It's amazing to hear everybody's stories and finding out that there are people of all ages that collect. Most people I know wouldn't think too highly of a 21 year old collecting action figures, but I shouldn't care. I always make sure my bills are paid before I buy figures so I guess I have came to the conclusion that I do not regret my hobby.

I dont regret it. I don't smoke, or drink or party. They bring joy to me and provide me with wonderful memories of my childhood and with my family. I don't buy them for a profit or to scalp them. I buy them
because they are my real life super heroes coming to life!
We all will leave this earth with nothing, so we should enjoy the things that bring us joy while we are here! Collecting is one of the few pleasures I have in a world where things are not that simple or innocent anymore. =-)

The driving around all day to find nothing when I could've just bought it off the internet and had some patience is my only regret.

Every time I make a purchase, except for any Hardy Boyz purchases. I always tell myself "it's not worth it" when I buy Elites, but when I get home, I always say "it was so worth it". Then I regroup and buy more! It's a repeated cycle.
I see it like the devil/angel on my shoulders. The devil saying "buy it, you fool!", while the angel is saying "save you're money!"

No. I am very careful about which ones I buy. I have ended up with ones I didnt plan on getting through sales and clearances and stuff and Im fine with that. I dont want to get to a point where Im questioning why Im buying certain ones or feel like like Im overpaying. I try to set limits on my monthly figure spending, right now its about 60 bucks a month. I try not to go over that and If I do then I have to short another month or work overtime at work or something to make up the difference.

I had a MAJOR bout of buyer's remorse back in 2011. ended up selling off most of my collection,only for me to regret it later,and end up replacing a lot of it - of course,at greater cost!
I've given up figure collecting 3 times in my adult life - and always ended up coming back to it. so my advice is: don't do anything rash. don't sell your stuff,cause you might be likely to regret it later. just sit back and think about it for awhile....

I hadn't collected wrestling figures in years, stopped watching in 2002. I happened to stumble across Legends series 1 in a TRU and was amazed by them. These were the wrestling figures I dreamed of when I was a kid. I bought Hawk, Animal, Steamboat, and Austin. Went home and researched the line. Read Mattel saying things like " this will be the most complete line of wrestling figures ever " I heard how many Legends Jakks did and thought wow Mattel is going to beat that, this will be awesome. Even though Mattel makes the best wrestling figures ever, if I'd known the Legends line was going to be cancelled I would've never started collecting. It's obvious now this isn't going to be the most complete line of wrestling figures ever. I own every Legend and Flashback they've made up to Elite 23 Flashbacks, with the exception of Hardcore Kane and Cactus Jack. I'll be ordering them in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, as of right now, it looks like I'll never get those Mattel British Bulldogs I was looking forward to. So many great Legends we'll probably never get from Mattel now. It's a shame. I'll be 40 next year, and I've got no problem buying wrestling toys.
